In 2023, the mortality rate for chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis was identified as 18.2 deaths per hundred thousand persons. Forecast data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady upward trend in mortality rates, increasing from 18.8 to 21.1 per hundred thousand. The year-on-year percentage increases exhibit a consistent growth pattern, with each year witnessing a rise in mortality rates as follows: 3.19% in 2025, 3.09% in 2026, 2.50% in 2027, and 2.93% in 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is anticipated to be 2.98%, suggesting a uniform escalation in mortality rates attributed to these conditions.
Future trends to watch for:
- An increase in alcohol consumption and obesity rates might exacerbate chronic liver disease numbers and mortality.
- Technological advancements in early diagnosis and treatment may help mitigate this trend.
- The implementation of public health strategies focused on prevention and lifestyle modifications could play a pivotal role in curbing this rise.
